Rules (interactive)

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

There are stupid questions.

I thought the least safe place was an American school.

I thought it was in America and in need of urgent surgery.

[–] Binky@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The truth is that he may never see daylight. They want to make an example of him lest others get similar ideas.

People with nothing to lose have little reason not to follow his example and make the greedy fuckers in this society pay.

Imagine people getting diagnosed with terminal cancer forming an army?

I hope the prisoners treat him as a king in there

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I remember a video right after he was taken into custody of inmates yelling out the windows about "free luigi" and "luigis conditions are terrible" of course they love him. He killed a greedy healthcare CEO, you could argue he did the world a favor.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I hope every inmate makes it clear that Luigi is cool with them and that anyone who does something similar will receive a warm welcome, that might make things interesting.

[–] vvilld@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This isn't really abnormal. He's accused of murder, and a pretty high profile one at that. It's not uncommon in the slightest for people accused of high profile crimes and people accused of murder to be held in custody pending trial.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

To clarify: There are only two actual reasons that you can legally be held without bail. The first reason is that you’re considered a flight risk. The second reason is that you’re considered a danger to yourself or others if let out of prison before your trial.

For the first reason, this basically means that the courts don’t believe you would return for your trial, and would flee instead. Maybe you’re rich enough that you can afford to lose the bail money. Maybe you have international connections and can disappear to another country. Maybe you just have a history of fleeing. The Adjuster is 100% without a doubt a flight risk. He fled authorities and evaded a nationwide manhunt for an entire week. And since Luigi is accused of being The Adjuster, he is considered a flight risk.

For the second reason, this is basically the court going “you were accused of something so violent or egregious that we don’t trust you to avoid doing something similar again while out on bail.” This is most often used with cases like school shooters, serial killers, serial rapists, serial burglars, etc… Basically, the prosecutor argues that if they’re let out, they’ll just fall right back into their old ways again. But a scummy pro-corporation prosecutor could construe The Adjuster as a violent extremist who is likely to strike again.

Maybe you and everyone else knows that you committed homicide, and your freedom is worth more to you than any amount of money.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 77 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Well I mean what are you going to do? He's in jail, accused of a crime. The government has him on a valid warrant.

Even if you wanted to break him out, he's here:

Good fucking luck.

There's simply nothing to do but wait for his case.

Nothing to do but get the prisons blueprints, have said blueprints tattooed onto body but covertly hidden within a being design. Then commit a serious but non violent crime to land yourself in the prison and then prison break

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 15 points 1 day ago

The premise of Michael’s tattoos was so much cooler than the actual execution and need for them. His tattoos were basically “here’s a tiny screwdriver shape in this giant demon”, “here’s a number that I could just have remembered but instead put it on a clock”, and so on.

Why do we tolerate it

The person who ceaselessly bashes their head against a brick wall hoping to knock it down will accomplish one thing, and it’s not knocking the wall down

[–] Rivalarrival 28 points 2 days ago

Dude probably gets a standing ovation every time he enters a room.

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

They would absolutely not allow him to die in prison.

They want to make a public example of him in order to show the proletariat they are the masters.

They will find a way to find him guilty and they will execute him.

They will make sure we all know it.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

They did it to Joe Hill.

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Luigi Mangione has been selected as the new pope

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why are people generally in prison? Usually because they’re violent, drug addicted or at odds with the status quo.

Luigi is in prison accused of killing a man responsible for getting people hooked on drugs, marginalizing the already marginalized and poor, and ruining the lives of millions.

I think the inmates would be more likely to treat him like a hero.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't think it's the inmates OP is worried about.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The guards and administration want him alive.

People like Epstein die in prison because showing up in court runs the risk of taking down powerful people. People like Luigi always have their day to be dragged through the mud in court before they rot away forever in jail, with random reminders that they’re still alive and suffering.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Part of me wonders what discovery would come up with if they got access to united health’s database. If they want to go with the argument that it was justified; they probably could get at least some limited access.

Generally theyre not allowed to go on fishing expeditions, but they are allowed to seek documents and data directly pertaining to their defense (like a pattern of criminal malpractice.)

I think they're going to try and find a way to kill him to send a strong example as to what happens to people in his place.

But then I hope it does happen because it'll only make him a martyr.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I don't hope it happens, but if it does, I do hope that it backfires on them.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean he’s accused of premeditated murder, has the resources to flee, and I’m pretty sure “they” want a spectacle to make an example.

they wont let him get shanked by accident, and they wont Epstein him until they have their spectacle

I mean that's what jail is for.

Think about it this way. If a young adult (like 18 year old) kills a parent as revenge for getting abused as a kid, do you think this person would just get to move freely before trial?

Sure, I'd also sympathize with this young adult, and the parent deserve to die for being an abusive piece of shit, but that doesn't mean this person can just go wandering around the city.

How do you know that to be true? What evidence do you have to support the hypothesis?

Even if the outcome you fear to be true comes to pass, that will not mean you were correct today.

Without evidence to support the hypothesis, you're doing nothing more complicated than guessing the result of flipping a coin.

True. I think even if he gets off, they’ll kill him. Remember all the whistleblower deaths in 2024? Like that.
